First off there are many different categories of music software. To have a complete studio you need lots of software including at least 1 notation software, at least 2 sample libraries, at least 1 mixing program, and probably a few different effects/generations programs. Notation programs like Sibelius and Finale that are really only good for creating scores and parts. The built in playback for most notation softwares is very mechanical, it's only meant to give a rudimentary idea of harmony and timing. Then there are programs for creating sounds like Max/MSP, Reason, Soundhack, PD, and CSound. These kinds of programs let you make noise from scratch and do live manipulation to the sounds you have. You also need at least 2 sample libraries. If you're interested in having your computer generate realistic sounds this is really the most important thing to have. You can plug Sibelius into a better sound library to get more lifelike sound, though to a trained ear it's still obviously not a real performer. Mixing programs like DigitalPerformer or ProTools are where all the other softwares are fed into to create your final product and do global effects to the entire piece. If you're on a budget DigitalPerformer is the one to go for. CSound has a tough learning curve, but is extremely versatile once you learn it.
